Year 5 En Vacances

Year 5 had a fantastic few days exploring France. They made their journey by ferry and, after seeing the sunny photos from on board, everyone back at school thought Mme Clayton had perhaps booked a Caribbean Cruise without telling us!

After a day of travelling, everyone enjoyed a good sleep in preparation for a busy few days ahead.

On their first day they visited a bakery and learnt how to make croissants and bread before heading to a snail farm where everyone proved to be particularly brave!

The following day, they took a trip to Etaples Commonwealth Military Cemetery. The children were fascinated to see how many soldiers were laid there and just how young they were. The mood was lifted with a visit to Le Touquet’s market where each group was set a challenge! They were given some money and had to go and buy food for their sandwich. The winning team was Joshua’s team. They all loved this activity and there was some amazing food on display. Miam miam! The next stop was the chocolate factory.

On their final morning they had a wonderful time at the local ceramics museum and took part in a workshop before heading to the long customs queue at the ferry port to start the journey home.

A superb and action-packed few days was had by all! We can't wait to hear more about it.
